      3. Mary Hedges (c.1677-17xx) is presumed to be a daughter of William and Mary Hedges and to have married a Thomas Douthitt. This is inferred from the fact that on 27 Feb 1732/33 Thomas Douthitt and his wife Mary signed, as near of kin, the Prince Georges County inventory of Joseph Hedges. (Prince Georges Co. Inventories, 17:67-69)

      Both Thomas Douthitt (Dowthit) and John Douthitt, presumably his son, were listed as taxable in Monocacy Hundred in 1733. (Dern, Pioneers of Old Monocacy, 368) In 1735, Thomas Douthitt (Doudith), being incapable of duty was replaced by Solomon Hedges [eldest son of Joseph of Monocacy] as constable of Monocacy Hundred. (Dern, 108, 238) This writer has not further traced this family.
